It’s also worth mentioning that you can integrate your #Wordpress or #Drupal blogs into the fediverse, too! So, you can natively integrate your articles, and replies on the fediverse can show up as comments on them!

I've been trying to get that Wordpress plug in to work for some years now! If they ever iron out the bugs on that and put a management interface into the dashboard, that would be great!
Sean Tilley
Admittedly, it probably needs some love. If there are any PHP devs willing to pitch it, that project would really benefit.
Piper Carter
I have so many Wordpress questions.
Sean Tilley
No problem, what's up? 🙂
Piper Carter
well, my first question is what role does Mastodon play in the digital landscape? How do you see it’s relationship to websites? I only know it as a social tool to post onto. I’m wondering if there are other functionalities that may be useful? Or is the function to have a social space that points folks to our websites?

is friendica have usable gui what is not confusing?
Sean Tilley
It has a pretty decent UI. It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot better than previous releases. I plan on doing some theme development for it, eventually.

i only saw fika.grin.hu GUI, but it reminds me the websites around 2000. it's the myspace version of facebook? 😀

LibraNet.de might be more to your liking, I believe they use a newer theme?

We’re, huh, working on it, but not having frontend people regularly contributing is definitely our Achilles’ heel

still missing a fedi-alternative for LinkedIn 🙂
Sean Tilley
You know, aside from being a place to build a resume, I have never understood the appeal of LinkedIn.

I feel like Friendica might be an okay replacement for the social parts?
Hypolite Petovan
Goodness forbids we start receiving bug reports from corporate head hunters. 😰
GivMeCoffee :coffefied:
while it's not federated (I don't think) The Storygraph is an excellent replacement for Goodreads too. Not Amazon owned and has very good features.

For this non-techie, all these new doors opening up with amazing new worlds that I had no clue existed, due to the kind and courteous tour guides is more than appreciated. The feeling is like Charlie entering the chocolate factory and seeing these amazing creations, courtesy of Willy Wonka.🤣

As someone who's been living in the chocolate factory for years, it's exciting to see new people coming in.

The internet is so much bigger and more full of possibility than the big corporate walled gardens, and I'm thrilled to be able to share that discovery!

Thank you for explaining it this way! Extremely helpful.

i remember meeting you on Diaspora back in the day ... which means we've both been in the Fediverse since before there officially *was* a fediverse 😀
Sean Tilley
Actually, funny enough, the fediverse started with StatusNet. Identi.ca was the most popular instance for a very, very long time.

Welcome - Identi.ca

Jon
but was it called the fediverse then? i was on identi.ca for a while but don't remember hearing the term either there or Diaspora
Sean Tilley
You know, I don't think I really heard the term much until StatusNet became GNU Social. But, I believe the term was coined by Evan Prodromou at some point.

NGI0 has supported several fediverse projects in the past: https://nlnet.nl/NGI0/
Sean Tilley
Instagram used to be a place where people uploaded cool photos. People can still do that there, but there's tons of ads and spam now, and the app tries to do a million things after Facebook bought it. They pretty much made it a mini-Facebook.

Pixelfed is an alternative that's open source and uses the same stuff that Mastodon uses to let servers talk to each other, and because of this, Mastodon users can also follow Pixelfed users and vice versa.
CarpInSanDiego
just got on peertube last night. As with mastodon just working through the kinks. But really like the whole concept of the fediverse.
David Bradley
Whatever happened to Diaspora? That was meant to be *the* Facebook replacement, I seem to recall...
Sean Tilley
I used to be the Community Manager. The project still exists, and is actively developed, but they are doing their own thing, and do not want to adopt ActivityPub.

It's completely community-run now, and no longer a startup. I wrote about my experience some here: https://deadsuperhero.com/planting-a-seed-diasporas-story-part-1/

Invidious is also a pretty good replacement for YouTube ☺️

it's a great frontend for YouTube, but it still relies on YouTube. PeerTube is actually a federated platform for video that has no such dependency.

OOOOOH there a Youtube replacement! I don't really see how a spotify replacement can work due to copyright problems but I'll check it out later. =D

meme:OH MY GOD

YouTube
Sean Tilley
I probably should have used more general language. It's more like an open source GrooveShark, where you can store your files privately on a server, and stream it to your mobile client.

That said, people do publicly share the music they made themselves on there! I put up a few tracks on Open Audio, a Creative Commons instance.

Nando's Brain
I see, I'm not very knowledgeable about anything music. But it sounds like a good place for indie and open to use tracks which is something that absolutely needs their own place around.
stringer
FunkWhale themselves say they aren’t a Spotify replacement. That comparison only works if everyone shares copyrighted content.
Sean Tilley
Yeah, it's more for private streaming of your own files. That being said, people do share their own creations publicly on it...

Well, you can use your Mastodon account to follow accounts in all of those places, and you'll see their stuff on your Mastodon timeline.

is there a Pinterest replacement?
Sean Tilley
I haven’t heard of one yet! But, with that being said…

I recall that the beginner’s course One Month Rails literally taught people how to code a very basic Pinterest site. Obviously, getting the federation part to work would require much more effort, but…it’s probably doable / might exist?
Rebel :verified:
is there a link for that course? building an open source Pinterest would be interesting.
The Other Brook
I’d love to see an Amazon replacement on that list.
Sean Tilley
I honestly have no idea what a full-blown Amazon replacement would even look like.

Do you just mean the book store part? 😛
Felicity Martin
Although not part of the Fediverse I recommend https://uk.bookshop.org as an Amazon alternative.
calligraffiti
Thanks for putting this list together.

If you don't mind the suggestion, PeerTube is just an app, not unlike [FreeTube](https://freetubeapp.io/), which works on the desktop. Have you looked into [Invidious](https://invidious.io/)?

Also, there's another Spotify alternative out there I very much like called [Resonate](https://resonate.coop/).

Invidious

Invidious is an open source alternative front-end to YouTube.
Invidious
Sean Tilley
the purpose of my list is that these are all federated apps that can allow Mastodon users to follow creators on their respective platforms. They aren't just apps, they are part of this ecosystem.

I'm afraid that none of the alternatives you've listed qualify on that specific criteria, though they are quite cool.
calligraffiti
Yes, I totally get that. I was surprised that I hadn't heard of all those services! I appreciate your curation. ツ

Diaspora as well can work for Facebook or is that not on the Fediverse?

What people think of as "The Mastodon Network" is actually a lot bigger and a lot more diverse. There are a lot of servers running different programs than Mastodon, and offer different kinds of experiences. But they can still talk together as one network.

I know that there are more options too. Just followed a link from here to Invidious, a video platform that looks terrific. (And some parts of the Fediverse do not yet look terrific, but I won't name names and I have confidence in the missions.) What do you think of the ones you've listed? Recommendations?
Sean Tilley
Invidious is just a frontend client for YouTube. PeerTube is a fully-realized platform that actually federates.

Are there any links on the interoperation between services? When I went to pixelfed it looked like it wan'ted to set up a new account.

I couldn't find a way to use my mastodon account or link the two? Didn't really seem that much like interoperability to me. Unless I'm missing something?
Sean Tilley
You don't use your Mastodon account to log in to these services. The interoperability is through federation, meaning that your Mastodon account can follow people on Pixelfed, PeerTube, etc, and be able to interact with their stuff from Mastodon.
Spencer
To add to this, imagine being able to follow your friend's Instagram posts from Twitter, and when you tweet a comment in response, it automatically shows up on Instagram.

That's sorta what this is describing. You can like, follow, or comment on the "Instagrams" and "YouTubes" of this network without ever logging into a separate account. The activity on these different services can all end up in your unified feed.

If you want to post your own "Instagram-like" photos and use that app's features, you'll need to register an account on an instance running that service.
Ryan Peters
try this, next time you see a #peertube or #pixelfed (or any other federated URL), copy and paste it into your mastodon search bar. It'll find the account and let you follow it. So, you don't log in to THEIR server, but rather you remain on yours and follow them (from yours). It's fucking beautiful.

If you want to follow a pixelfed account, just copy the handle of the account, including the instance ([email protected]) into the search on your mastodon. If someone on Pixelfed wants to follow you, they can copy your handle. Friendica has the most interopability
Sean Tilley
No. If you joined one of these services, you'd just have another account.

These platforms use the same communication protocol to talk to each other. You can follow any user that's on one of these platforms directly from Mastodon, and interact with them from your home timeline. This includes seeing their posts.
Sean Tilley
Yes. There's some ongoing research in being able to do this kind of stuff with one account using the ActivityPub Client to Server API, but few platforms currently support that.
Shonin
Zoom replacement? 😘
Sean Tilley
You’ve got a few options.

Element is capable of video calls, and is a federated system using the @matrix protocol.

Jitsi is a bit more Zoom-like, and is pretty easy to use! Not federated, but totally open source.

Nextcloud Talk is a video conferencing platform that integrates directly into the Nextcloud platform. Open source, capable of federation with other Nextcloud servers, tons of benefits from the rest of the Nextcloud platform.

Sean Tilley
Yes, they use the same activity types. A lot of photographers prefer to use something like Pixelfed for their work. The benefit is that you can follow those accounts from Mastodon, and see / interact with their photos from your own timeline, rather than needing to log into Pixelfed.

Ben Smith
Thank you for this.

How do you manage all the different identities you get with these services? Should my Mastodon ID boost my Pixelfed images (for example) or can I use one identity across all of them?
Sean Tilley
There isn’t a great solution yet. One workaround, as you put it, is to boost your stuff that you posted elsewhere. It’s a bit tedious, though.

A unified solution is something that I’d love to see, but requires platforms / clients to adopt the ActivityPub Client-to-Server API to make that happen. Unfortunately, it’s not as practical as the Mastodon API that most projects use instead.

A few projects support C2S, so I’m currently exploring the possibility of building unique clients that show different types of posts, with all the data living in one place, under one account.
~! :blobcathearttrans:
(ngl Client-to-Server sounds exactly like SMTP…)
Sean Tilley
Yeah, I’ve heard it compared to either SMTP or IMAP before. It’s actually not bad to work with at all, but requires a different way of thinking about how to put things together.

It would actually be an interesting experience to write an email-like frontend that exclusively uses C2S.
Ben Smith
Thanks. This is new to me so learning!
Sean Tilley
Hubzilla is absolutely incredible, but is also probably one of the most complex / advanced projects in the entire fediverse. It really needs some UX love. If you’re a power user and have the time to configure it, though, you can build some really wild stuff with it.

Great to see you active in the 'verse again and thanks for sharing this list with newbies, but...

@sean
> Facebook replacement: Friendica

... it's really not fair to Friendica to keep making this comparison. Neither the feature set nor the UI of Friendica are anything like modern FB, so calling it a FB replacement just sets people up for disappointment and poor first impressions. IMHO We don't yet have a complete, federated replaced for FB and it's better to just be honest about that.
@Sean Tilley
Sean Tilley
I guess that’s fair. I just tend to see Friendica’s current resign as very reminiscent of what was good about Facebook’s UI prior to the Big Bad Redesign where it now looks like a PlaySkool interface.

I still think Friendica is a totally viable replacement, if you cut out the chat, games, zillions of client apps, marketplace, moments, and their video offerings.

Yeah, I guess they are pretty different nowadays.
Strypey
> if you cut out the chat, games, zillions of client apps, marketplace, moments, and their video offerings

In other words, ignore the vast majority of the features people use FB for, then the comparison holds. This is kind of my point ;)

Friendica definitely offers things that Mastodon and other micro-posting platforms don't and it's well worth promoting. I just think if we're promoting fedi tools as replacements for datafarms, there must be a more accurate comparison for Friendica.
Dave Waghorn
I joined Diaspora* a few years ago and I'm a little surprised to not see it on the list. Is that seen as a rival to these Fediverse apps?
Sean Tilley
My main motivation was to provide a list of platforms that can all federate together through ActivityPub. Sadly, Diaspora is not interested in adopting that protocol, and can only talk to a few other platforms on the network (Friendica, Hubzilla, and Socialhome come to mind)
Dave Waghorn
Thanks. Openness and interoperability are crucial if we're going to coax more people over from the commercial apps. Will look to set up a Friendica account soon!
Martijn Vos
@Dave Waghorn@Sean Tilley Diaspora is not part of the fediverse. It doesn't use ActivityPub (the fediverse protocol) but has its own protocol. Friendica and Hubzilla can work with both.
@Sean Tilley @Dave Waghorn

grin doesn't like this.

Does #pixelfed do hashtag feeds like mastodon?

As a performing artist, currently most interaction we get is Ig, we're busy, but the audience uses hashtags that we then can boost (share) or pin (story) often from our phones during a break.

Assuming tavern-going folk take to a federated pixelfed and have the app at the ready, would this work the same?

We've been known to have the sousaphone player #livestream from his phone, too. Would that work with P2P streams?
Sean Tilley
Yes, Pixelfed uses hashtags and has a pretty neat discovery system built in!

Once More Into the Breach
dumb newbie question: Do I follow myself on those other accounts? Tag myself in posts?Or just pop in an out of them as if they were separate social media platforms?
Sean Tilley
You can follow yourself, I do that to boost content I made in other places into my personal timeline here. But, you don't need a new account to follow people on other platforms - if I follow a Pixelfed photographer from this account, I'll see their photos and comments, and be able to interact with both! They will also be able to see any photos I posted from my end.
Ivan 🎧
A very quick challenge here with no intent to offend. Funkwhale is not a Spotify replacement. If anyone claims it was, how do they license the music content being posted? I have read their T&Cs and they are basically transferring responsibility to the end user which is beyond grey. Aren't both signed and independent artists rewarded for the usage of their work? I couldn't find a framework or agreement between artists and producers and Funkwhale either. This would constitute theft.
Sean Tilley
No, you're right. I got called on it further up the thread. It's more comparable to GrooveShark, in that you can upload music to a server and listen to it from your device. Still, I consider personal streaming of one's own media a type of replacement.
naught101
what is it about Friendica makes it like Facebook?
Sean Tilley
long-form posting, lots of utilities based around contact management, groups. In truth, it's closer to the Facebook of maybe 2015, but yeah, it's harder to draw a comparison to the newer designs.
Shoq
And what about Chat? I am currently using element.io, an awesome matrix client, but I am hesitant to to expose newbies to that product until it's UX is friendlier.
Sean Tilley
Yeah, I'm at a loss on this one. I think Element is viable, but there are still plenty of rough edges.

We have a client up and running and ready to fork, but my coding partner doesn't speak the language and doesn't have time to learn right now. I am dying to add a few simple tweaks that would fix much

What does "interoperate with your Mastodon account" mean in this context? How do they relate to each other besides using the ActivityPub protocol?

how would i go about using BookWyrm from my Mastodon account here, for an example?
Sean Tilley
That's a good one! The short answer is that generally, you don't. Bookwyrm requires you to have an account on there to make reviews.

That said, you can follow that subsequent Bookwyrm account from Mastodon!
Aldon Hynes
I'm on #BookWyrm as @[email protected]

I follow that account with my Mastodon account. When I post a review on BookWyrm I then boost it in Mastodon. It is a little cumbersome, but it works and I don't review a lot of books.
#Bookwyrm @user/ahynes1
Sean Tilley
no, it's more akin to GrooveShark, where you stream your own music library from the cloud to a mobile client.

That being said, some musicians upload and share their work in public libraries that you can federate with and listen to.
LadyOzma
I am very interested in how to use these together. Someone was just telling me about pixelfed and said I would need an account there. I’m new but totally down with with what I’m seeing, but not sure how to make literally all of this even functional. It’s already a lot to keep up with the non decentralized stuff. Any help?
